Review of "Mulan" - From The Womb of Suffering

"There is no spoilers for the movie"

Mulan movie: From the womb of suffering a hero is born. This is the slogan of the film today, but before talking about the details and events of that Chinese movie, we must, as usual, put a simple summary of the film.

The movie Mulan is a movie produced by Walt Disney in 1998 that received many views and praises from the audience, but our conversation today is not about that movie, but we will talk about a realistic movie that was produced this year to be a realistic version of the cartoon movie.

Will the movie directed by Nikki Carew be as great as the animation movie released more than 20 years ago?
And why was a realistic version of it released?
Is it really worth watching?
We will know all this in today's review. Please listen to me.

The story

The story of the movie tells about a heroine who broke all the rules, barriers and customs to provide us with the best example of sacrifice. The sacrifice is usually presented in the form of a warrior hero or in the form of a poor young man, but today our date is with a girl!
In light of civil wars and ancient conflicts, whoever left behind in the war is a criminal and deserves to be punished.
But what if one of them is unable to go to the fight helpless or to wait for punishment in silence?

The movie tells us about an old man who became ill and could not go to war, and here is the heroism of his daughter who decided to break all traditions and disguise that she was a boy and decided to go to war!

The girl who decided to go to war instead of her father, but this is contrary to customs and traditions, and perhaps this will bring shame to her family, but she decided to take up the challenge, and we will see in this movie the difficulties this girl faced and the ingenuity she showed in the war.

Impression

Usually, these types of films do not attract many followers, not wars and sacrifices films, but rather movies adapted from old films or animations.

Usually, the story is the same, except that it is live copies and real people. Most people see that the film is an exact copy, so there is no need to watch it again.

But in spite of that, the film presented us with a new addition. The film preserved the spirit of watching the timeless iconography and so on, it decided to make a new addition ...
So what is it?

In animation films, what attracts the viewer is the simplicity, comedy and wonderful colors, but the film decided to take another side and delete all of that in order to present us with a strong enthusiastic film, and it was satisfied with some iconic scenes of the film, focusing on the battles and conflicts and the essence of the story itself.

Although the film removed most of the comedies and famous personalities, but it presented us with a difficult equation, it preserved the essence of the film and its wonderful story and added more enthusiasm and excitement.

Defects

Despite what we mentioned previously about the splendor of the film, the beautiful story it presented to us, and the changes it made in the version of the film to suit the viewer's mind, as it was a realistic film and not a cartoon, but it had many defects.
The film, which lasted for two hours, was unfortunately the most empty view and contains nothing but naive scenes that are not necessary.

It was possible to add more strategies, war plans, and so on, which increases the enthusiasm of the viewer, but the film was satisfied with only a few of them, to shorten a film longer in time than the required period, which prompted the viewer to get bored of it most of its time.

And since you have removed the comic scenes that were giving vitality to the film, you have not provided the direction in which it was intended.

Finally, if you have not seen the cartoon version that was released in 1998, you can watch this part and it will be interesting to you.

My rating for the movie ........ (7/10)
